FAQ

After the download, you have to make one include require_once('vendor/autoload.php');. After that you have to import the classes with use statements.

Example:
If you use only one package a project is not needed. But if you use more then one package, without a project it is not possible to import the classes with use statements.

In general, it is recommended to use always a project to download your libraries. In an application normally there is more than one library needed.
Some PHP packages are not free to download and because of that hosted in private repositories. In this case some credentials are needed to access such packages. Please use the auth.json textarea to insert credentials, if a package is coming from a private repository. You can look here for more information.

  • Some hosting areas are not accessible by a terminal or SSH. Then it is not possible to use Composer.
  • To use Composer is sometimes complicated. Especially for beginners.
  • Composer needs much resources. Sometimes they are not available on a simple webspace.
  • If you are using private repositories you don't need to share your credentials. You can set up everything on our site and then you provide a simple download link to your team member.
  • Simplify your Composer build process. Use our own command line tool to download the vendor folder as binary. This makes your build process faster and you don't need to expose your credentials for private repositories.
Please rate this library. Is it a good library?

Comments

Stars also provides a threaded comment system on entries, with the same moderation, spam protection, and login-gating as reviews.

Comment Form

Displaying Comments

The simplest way to render a full nested thread is the bundled recursive macro, fed by craft.comments.tree(entry):

Or build it yourself — each comment in the tree exposes its replies via .children:

Reply nesting is capped by the Max Comment Depth setting; deeper replies are automatically attached at the deepest allowed level.

craft.comments API

Method Returns Description
craft.comments.tree(entry) Comment[] Approved comments as a nested tree (replies on .children)
craft.comments.forEntry(entry) CommentQuery Approved comments for an entry, oldest first
craft.comments.topLevel(entry) CommentQuery Approved top-level comments (no replies)
craft.comments.replies(comment) array Approved replies to a comment
craft.comments.count(entry) int Count of approved comments

Events

Development

The plugin ships with a test suite built on Codeception and Craft's test framework. DDEV provides PHP and a database (no local PHP install required):

The suite boots a real Craft application, installs the plugin (running its migration), and exercises the services against a live database.
